Basic Corn Muffins

A good recipe for corn muffins. They're great warm with a pat of butter, even better with a bowl of chili.

Recipe Ingredients:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Grease muffin tins or line with paper cups.
2. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Mix with a fork.
3. In another bowl, whisk egg until smooth. Whisk in buttermilk and melted butter to combine. Pour into flour mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
4. Fill muffin cups three-quarters full and bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.

Makes 1 dozen muffins.
